Drift Ep. 2, Part 1 - Appleshine

DRIFT, Episode 2 opens with Appleshine (film edit) - a minimalist, hypnotic small hours glide; a techno pulse wound tightly around a daydream vocal that ultimately unfolds into an ambient coda (reminiscent of Rez) that seems to make the whole track - and the listener - levitate. It is beautifully, uniquely, undoubtedly Underworld.

The track is available to download exclusively via https://underworldlive.com/drift

Appleshine features a new film by Simon Taylor, and Georgia and Lewis from Black Country, New Road on violin and flute respectively. The intro of the track was originally published online when Underworld headlined the BBC Biggest Weekend in Belfast last year - this is the first time the full track has been made available.

DRIFT started as a journey with no fixed destination; an experiment and a very public investigation of new working processes by Underworld. On that journey, Karl and Rick stopped at a pig shed in Essex; Rockingham Speedway; a hotel room in Reykjavik; AIR studios and a series of tiny club shows in Amsterdam, Manchester and London. Each of those stop off points helped influence the creation of DRIFT Episode 1 & 2.

I like it but it doesn't sound fully formed or its a snippet from a longer track.. I'm hoping it's the latter!

This. I would be really stoked if they decided that this was the shortened radio edit or if they made an extended mix that let each part of the track breathe a bit more.

Simon teased the video last week.

Re: Drift Ep. 2, Part 1 - Appleshine

Pace, vocal delivery and happy/sad mood of the two-chord alteration is giving off "Banstyle" vibes for me.

And that outtro was beautiful!

FYI, Black Country, New Road is Tyler Hyde's new band which arose from the ashes of Nervous Conditions' dissolution last year. Lewis normally plays sax in the band.

Re: Drift Ep. 2, Part 1 - Appleshine

are we to assume Tyler Hyde is related to the Karls of Hyde?

Re: Drift Ep. 2, Part 1 - Appleshine

nice, but just wondering why it's still labeled as the film edit.
does that mean there's more. ha ha
